💨 Abstract

Julius Malema, leader of South Africa's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), was denied a visa to attend the Cambridge Africa Together Conference at the University of Cambridge. He accused the UK of political silencing, claiming the denial was unjustified and timed to prevent his participation. The UK High Commissioner apologized, citing procedural delays, while the UK Home Office declined to comment. Malema has previously faced travel restrictions, including a ban by Botswana in 2011.
